Upgrade from CTK02

Post by tinkeringtom »

Hello,

I have a house built around 2002. It has an Amana condenser ASXC160361BC and furnace AMVC80604BNBC with an emerson control board and CTK02 thermostat.

Im looking for a replacement plug and play thermostat with WIFI and phone app functionality.

Would the Amana ATST-CWE-BL-A be compatible?

Thank you!

Thank you! It’s a bit like a Aphrodite Casino https://aphroditecasino-fr.fr/ setup where games and slots may look compatible on paper, but the important part is whether the underlying system actually speaks the same language.
I swapped from a CTK02 to an ecobee and lost the communicating setup, so I'd double-check that board before buying. The Amana stat should be the cleaner route if it matches the Emerson setup.

The proprietary stats can be annoyingly picky, and losing the communicating side turns a simple swap into a wiring project fast.
